U Of A System Division Of Ag Partners With Ag-Analytics To Collect Precision Ag Data F LITTLE ROCK, ARK.
rom every byte of every streamed tele- vision program we
see, to the tweets, photos and stories that roll past us on social media, we live, breathe and drown in data. According to Visual
Capitalist, 463 exabytes – that’s 463 followed by 18 zeroes – of data will be created daily by 2025. Agriculture is no differ-
ent. Modern production equipment
such as
planters, sprayers and harvesters are equipped with technology to gather data for the individual producer’s use. Cor- ralling that data for re- search
is difficult
because it’s scattered across the state and often, equipment may have proprietary software that prevents the data
from being easily im- ported into usable for- mats. New tools, better
yields However, a new part-
nership between the Co- operative
Extension
Service and Ag-Analyt- ics®, will collect and ana- lyze large volumes of ag data with an eye to creat- ing better decision mak- ing tools for farmers, that will in turn, help farmers improve their yields. Ag-Analytics is a farm
management platform that specializes in the analysis of precision agri- culture data. The plat- form will collect data and put it in a format that can help growers and re- searchers make deci- sions. “The partnership with
Ag-Analytics will allow us to receive precision ag
data that we didn’t have access to prior,” said Karen Watts DiCicco, ex- tension digital and infor- mation

Davis said. “In agricul- ture, we’ve seen a similar shift from the industrial model to precision agri- culture. The industry is moving forward with more and more incorpo- ration of big data and ar- tificial intelligence. It’s important for that to be part of our future.” Info remains confi-

extension asking
Arkansas growers and producers to participate in the data analysis, led by Davis and DiCicco. Farmers can sign up on- line to participate and
opt-in to share data con- fidentially with the Uni- versity of Arkansas System Division of Agri- culture at https://ana-
lytics.ag/uaex. The information gath-
ered on individual farms will be integrated with hundreds of terabytes of satellite, soil, weather and other data. The data will remain confidential, and personally identifi- able information will be stripped from the data sets. Sign up is free, and
farmers who participate will also obtain access to Ag-Analytics® resources such as historical and current weather condi- tions, satellite imagery and data, and insurance estimates. “Our partnership will
lead to innovations that allow farmers to utilize
artificial intelligence in digital ag applications by leveraging their univer- sity extension service with the Ag-Analytics platform,” said Joshua Woodard, chief executive officer and founder of Ag- Analytics. “It’s a win-win- win for us, growers, and the University
